distinguish Wittgenstein s Poker Wittgenstein s rod is a geometry problem attributed to 20th century philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein . The set up is as follows a Rodgeometryrod passes through a sleeve, in which it can smoothly slide. The sleeve is tangentially affixed to a wall at its lengthwise center, forming a pivot. One end of the rod is moved in a circle, whose centre is not coincident with the pivot, and whose plane is parallel to the wall. The question of the thought experiment is what shape does the other end of the rod describe? The seemingly obvious answer is a circle , but in fact it describes an Inverse curve invert ed cardioid .

In real time computer graphics , geometry instancing is the practice of Rendering computer graphics rendering multiple copies of the same polygon mesh mesh in a scene at once. This technique is primarily used for objects such as trees, grass, or buildings which can be represented as repeated geometry without appearing unduly repetitive, but may also be used for characters. Although vertex data is duplicated across all instanced meshes, each instance may have other differentiating parameters such as color, or skeletal animation Pose computer vision pose changed in order to reduce the appearance of repetition. API support for geometry instancing Starting in Direct3D version 9, Microsoft included support for geometry instancing. This method improves the potential runtime performance of rendering instanced geometry by explicitly allowing multiple copies of a mesh to be rendered sequentially by specifying the differentiating parameters for each in a separate stream. The same functionality is exposed in OpenGL using the EXT draw instanced extension. Geometry instancing in offline rendering Geometry instancing in Maya software Maya usually involves mapping a pre animated object or geometry to particles, which can then be rendered in any renderer. Geometry instancing in Maya is useful for creating things like swarms of bees or wasps, in which each one can be detailed, but still behaves in a realisitic way that does not have to be determined by the animator. Because instancing geometry in Maya or any other 3D package only references the original object, file sizes are kept very small and changing the original changes all of the instances.

Incidence geometry is an area of mathematics that studies relations of incidence geometry incidence between various geometrical objects such as points, lines, curves, and planes. A specific collection of such objects is called a mathematical structure . One type of mathematical structure of particular importance contains only points and lines and is called an incidence geometry . Definition An incidence geometry is an incidence structure for which the following axioms are true Every pair of distinct points determines a unique line. Every line contains at least two distinct points. For every line, there is at least one point that does not lie on the line. The result of this is that every incidence geometry contains at least three points and three lines. Thus, the simplest incidence geometry that can exist would look something like this File Sample Incidence.jpg center The Fano Plane One famous incidence geometry was developed by the Italian mathematician Fano and is known as the Fano plane File Fano Plane.jpg center Incidence Matrix An incidence geometry can be modeled by an incidence matrix which serves as a visual representation of all incidence relations in the geometry.
